Everybody Loves Raymond

Robert and Ray are tasked with creating a video tribute to Frank, the lodge’s newly‑crowned Man of the Year. Despite the honour, they quickly discover that none of the other lodge members can tolerate him at all.

Frank's Tribute is a short programme presented as an episode. It falls within the genre of a straightforward episode format, focusing on a single storyline centred on a particular event involving the lodge members. The show is concise, designed to deliver a self‑contained narrative in a compact runtime and aims to capture a slice of lodge life. The core of the episode follows Robert and Ray, who are approached to produce a video tribute. Their task is to capture footage celebrating Frank, who has just been honoured as the lodge’s Man of the Year. The assignment sets the stage for the unfolding narrative. They are expected to showcase his achievements and personality in a brief clip. As they begin planning the tribute, Robert and Ray quickly discover that Frank’s recent accolade has not won him universal admiration. The other members of the lodge appear openly hostile, making it clear that they cannot tolerate him. This tension becomes a central obstacle for the two filmmakers. Their enthusiasm is dampened by the palpable dislike. The episode therefore balances the celebratory purpose of the tribute with the underlying discord among the lodge members. Robert and Ray must navigate the unfavourable attitudes while trying to fulfil their brief, highlighting the contrast between Frank’s public recognition and the private resentment he faces. It underscores how honour can coexist with personal animosity within a close‑knit community.
